Summary/Abstract |
In the run-up to the May 2013 elections, the political scene in Pakistan was absorbed in electoral rhetoric, active campaigning and a hectic poll process. It culminated with an expected set of results-the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) emerged victorious and took the reins of power after a decade and a half. The incumbent Pakistan People's Party (PPP) was nearly decimated and Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) marginalised. Meanwhile, during the entire electoral process and the eventual change of guard, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), that is, the so-called Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit Baltistan, remained on the political periphery, even though they have been under Pakistan's control for more than 65 years. Deprived of a provincial status, neither region within PoK is entitled to participate in the national assembly elections of Pakistan. The only representation PoK has in the federal government is through the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan (KAGB).

Summary/Abstract |
Karachi, Pakistan-Green and red flags line the streets. The crowd snarls traffic across the city as an estimated 150,000 young Pakistanis fill the roads and alleys to the Quaid Mausoleum-the final resting place of Pakistan's founder, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Unlike the often tumultuous religious or ethnic processions here, this march is peaceful, albeit with ferocious patriotism and boisterous chants of "Yes, We Khan." Superstar cricketer-turned-philanthropist-turned-politician Imran Khan is holding a rally in Pakistan's port city of Karachi, the country's economic hub. Khan's rallies are bigger, louder, and younger than those of any other Pakistani politician. In the days leading up to this grand event, his party's computers robo-called 300,000 local phones with a simple, direct message: "Assalam-o-Alaikum. This is Imran Khan speaking. How are you? I am coming to your city to bring everyone together on December 25 at Mazar-e-Quaid for a peace rally. I hope that you can break all the shackles and take part, because at this rally, we need to make the beginnings of a new Pakistan. I will be waiting. Thank you." It was a wake-up call, doing more to convince people to attend than billboards and posters prone to vandalism. Khan drew crowds from a cross-section of Pakistani society, from the slums of Karachi to the most elite areas.
